4 greet me in the low, sweet toni
And should start from memory's sway,



Your feet went tripping down the stair
Or it. upon some summer day,
Mid song ofbirds and hum of bees,
should GO down the woodland way
To our old tryst beneath the trees;
And, starting back in glad SURPRISE
/ should behold you waiting there,
The old light shining in your eyes
The sunlight tangled in your hair.
In vain shall not see the glow
OF wine brown eyes or catch the smile
OF ruby lips but yet know
That you are near me all the while
For so loved you in that range
ofsunny years that my poor heart.
Would bleed afresh and count it strange
To think God held us far apart.
And so, when evening shadows creep
And night falls softly o'er the lea,
You touch my eyelids and sleep,
And sleeping, dream of heaven and thee
And when some summer morn shall break

Wrenched His Back.

n V ADril . 1891

LYNDoNvILLE, ORLEANS COUNTY,
n. Y, April 2, 1885. I
About year ago / imprudently
stepped off the Hudson-river cars while
they were in motion. In trying TO
save myself from a fearful fall |
wrenched my back terribly. The next
day l could not walk, and / suffered
pain from my neck to my heels. Va
rious applications were made, but
nothing which was done abated my
suffering. Being anxious to get up
and attend to business, | determined
to place three Allcock's Porous Plas-
ters, one above the other, op my back.
In about an hour and a half they caused
considerable itching. The pain and
soreness sensibly decreased, and l
rested pretty well that night. The
next morning the itching began to be
quite severe under the plasters. To
get some relief / had my back well
rubbed crossways over the plasters. /
was surprised within two hours after
wards to find the pain and soreness al
most gone. / stayed in bed that day,
and the morning afterwards | got up
aid attended to business.

The County Court was in session for
n short while and adjourned over until
next Wednesday. A license was granted
to James Holloran for the sale Of liquor
at the bar and by retail. An order
was entered citing the property-owners
to appear before court on the first day
of the September term with relation to

runs from the New reservoir to Broad

A CONFEDERATE MUSEUM.
How the Attractions of Richmond
May be Largely Increased.

There are in Virginia thousands OF
relies of the war, which, if preserved
and labelled with brief history, would
be of precious value to the coming
generations. They should be gathered
together and placed in trusty hands
until the time comes when q suitable
building can be erected in which TO ex-
hibit them.
That building should be at Lee Camp
Soldiers Home, and the assembling of
the survivors of the Army OF Northern
Virginia, on October 18th, to lay the
cornerstone OF the Lee monument
would afford fitting opportunity for
the people in all parts OF the South to
send in their contributions-sa as
uniforms and arms Of all the branches
of the military and naval service, bat
tle-fags, Confederate publications, pho
tographs, &c, &c.
As beginning the home has, or soon
will have, the stuffed figure OF Little
Sorrel," the war-horse of Stonewall
Jackson. Starting with this and APP
pealiDg to the people, it may, by little
enterprise and a trifling expenditure OF
money, in two years have q museum
which will attract hundreds OF people
TO this city, and which will be OF inte-
rest and value too long after the last
Confederate veteran has passed away.
At first it may be necessary to store these
exhibits in temporary structure, but
when the collection gets to be imposing
means viii surely be found to shelter
it in q fire proof house. Then would
be partly answered the oiten-asked
question "What is to become of the
Soldiers Home property when the last
Confederate is gone ?" From the Goa
federate museum might grow a perma-
nent exhibition, covering every detail
of the States history and resources.
Eight or ten years ago this writer sug-
gested that President Davis's house here
(now Central Public SCHOOL, be devo-
ted to Confederate-muscum purposes;
but, looking to the coming years, the
Soldiers Home is better place.
Would't such museum largely add
to Richmond's attractions?
Wouldn't it be place dear to every
southern heart and OF interest, at least,
to every northern man?
Undoubtedly.
Then will not Lee Camp or the trus-
tees Of the home make q movement in
this direction

WHY THINGS ARE R--MoST
srRTKIyo INSTANCES OF IT.


Merit is the source OF fashion. Some
things may attain temporary popu..
Iarity, but unless they possess real
merit their life is brief. This is true
OF bonnets, dresses, and costumes. IL
is still truer OF other important things.
The world has for years gone to France
for its fashions in dress, and every sea-
son finds them more and more merito-
rious, while every one hereabout In
want of Piano or Organ goes to the
old-established house of Walter ID.
Moses & Co., Ola Main street. The
Hartman and Emerson Pianos and
Kimball Organs have more merit for
anything like the price than any other
instruments offered. Call and see them
and be convinced.
